Bryan Cash

Software Architect & AI Platform Builder

I'm a born-and-raised New Yorker and lifelong sports junkie—a kid from Jamaica, Queens who was obsessed with box scores, improbable correlations, and the energy of people. I've always seen the world through data long before it was a buzzword. I was the kid fascinated by how fast the NBA could aggregate Dwyane Wade's performance based on Gabrielle Union's attendance. That curiosity is what led me to study Computer Science at Syracuse. I wanted to help businesses uncover deep analytics that unlock real storytelling; way before data engineering and data science were coined by Harvard as the career of the future.

The start of my career lived at the intersection of data and real-world impact. I audited multi-billion-dollar settlements, including the Volkswagen emissions scandal; rebuilt the analytics backbone for The Washington Post's Publishing & Circulation team; modernized reporting for Health & Human Services; and helped scale Vantage Risk's Political, Risk & Credit unit from $70M to over $225M in Gross Written Premium (GWP), contributing to the firm surpassing $1B+ GWP. While compelled by the power of data across these experiences, I wanted to bring my technology journey full circle and build platforms with cultural resonance.

I created my own sports analytics company, delivering proprietary data you couldn't find anywhere else. I then became CTO of an art and technology startup, which has partnerships with major institutions such as Sotheby's, Spotify, OpenAI, the Brooklyn Museum and more. Now...you'll see :)

What You Should Know

• I will not compromise my morals for a paycheck.
• Engineering is my profession and my hobby. Problem-solving has been a competitive instinct for me since childhood—learning to play Chess at the age of three, drawn to strategy and optimization.
• I was a technologist pre-AI. I've always built technology with the intent to amplify humanity, not replace it.

Principles

• be a good person.
• work with people, who want to work with you.
• surround yourself with people, where if forced with the choice — you wouldn't mind waking up as them (their mindset, their network, how they treat others, their daily habits)
• never ever make any decision with money as the deciding factor.
• occasionally engage with people, literature, and content that fundamentally disagrees with you — to challenge you.
• do not apologize for your beliefs and your convictions.
• never work with anybody who's focused on performance politics over the trenches.
• if diminishing yourself requires making people comfortable, make them uncomfortable.
• learn for yourself. other peoples opinions should never be your foundation for any subject.
• love all. forgive. forgiveness, doesn't require reconciliation.
• treat people how they want to be treated, not how you want to be treated.
